This week I launched a project on Kickstarter – a crowdsourced funding service that helps creative projects get off the ground.
The project is “Little Space Heroes” – a virtual universe for kids and families. This is a game that I’m working on with my friends at Bubble Gum Interactive.
We’re very much a startup, working super long hours and scraping by on the leanest of budgets. We’re making good progress with the game and have released some mini-games online to start building some awareness up.
After a lot of free ‘sweat time’ we’ve had some success in securing funding from private investors and we’ve been earmarked for some financial assistance from an Australian government funding body. But we need to reach certain milestones before we can secure the government grant.
That’s why we’re turning to Kickstarter, to see if we can raise a little bit extra to help us meet the milestone. Every dollar raised will go straight into product development and will help ensure Little Space Heroes is a truly amazing game. We’re offering awesome rewards for those that support us on Kickstarter – there’s lots of exclusive in-game content and virtual items as well as the chance to take part in the beta and real world gifts like posters and animation cels for the higher pledge amounts.
Check out the pitch video – you can see me and my colleagues being incredibly cheesy. But hopefully you’ll also see the passion and energy and help us out. Whether you can spare a few dollars or can help us with a Like or a Retweet, it all counts.
Let’s blast off for adventure!
